Sergeant Man, High Raise, Calf Crag,

Gibson Knott & Helm Crag 

Date                   25/01/2003

Walk done by:    Jed

Weather:            Sunny to start, clouding over later. Very strong winds. Temp Cold. Very heavy rain overnight had swollen the streams and some fields were flooded

Distance             8.5 miles

This was one of those walks were my mind was telling me I wanted to walk and my body was telling me I'm too tired to walk. I have never been as tired at the end of a walk as I was at the finish of this one. But I still enjoyed it
